Welcome to Tanaka's - Twofold Bistro Brewery ! You can now find one of the best beers in the country, their Payola Hazy Pale Ale, pouring from the Tanaka's taps 🍻

Expect big notes of peach iced tea, mango mochi ice cream, blood orange and grapefruit peel - all resting on a silky base of (van)Nilla wafer cookies. Ridiculously tasty!
